Line 203:
** [[User:Pro-Mole]] calls coincidence. Something in the veins of "parallel evolution", the fenomena that created a marsupial version of many non-marsupial creatures in Australia (including the noiw extinct marsupial tiger, actually a stray dog). That, or the people at design didn't know how to make segmented eyes in a different fashion...
** Or guessing by the fact that they're the same type of Pokemon with simular evolutionary lines, they may well be related species.
** They [http://veekun.com/dex-images/yellow/049.png don't] [http://veekun.com/dex-images/yellow/012.png actually] look [http://veekun.com/dex-images/rusa/357.png that]{{Dead link}} [http://veekun.com/dex-images/silver/154.png much] alike. (Pictures taken from the original sprites in each case: Red+ Green, Ruby and Gold.)
*** Dude! [http://veekun.com/dex-images/yellow/048.png Venonats!] Not Venomoths! Look at those eyes and mouth. And not just sprites, but the official art, too.
** Well, if resemblance had to be a guide on evolution, Bellossoms shouldn't evolve from Glooms (do they? They changed so many things that I don't even know anymore), but from Roselias...
Line 366:
** A friend of this troper suggested Diglett's have a pointy bottom, whilst I assumed they were just flat. [[Noodle Incident|It's probably for the best that we don't know.]]
*** I always figured that it was something like [http://hail-nekoyasha.deviantart.com/art/Biglett-26374938 this.]
*** This Troper prefers [https://web.archive.org/web/20120429202508/http://saladbowl.deviantart.com/art/Dugtrio-Underneath-the-Surface-95213791 this]. Dugtrio, but the principle stands.
*** They have feet. That much is certain.
*** The 3D-Incarnations on occasion show that Diglett has no lower body and ends flat when they're subjected to attacks that launch them into the air.
Line 645:
** [[Values Dissonance]]. Japan has a history of circumventing gambling laws with machines that take and accept 'tokens' that can be bought with money and exchanged for prizes, I've heard Shigeru Miyamoto himself often plays these machines. Seems Japan has much less of an issue with gambling than the rest of the world.
*** Arcades in the backs of bowling alleys, anyone?
** [https://web.archive.org/web/20100814151734/http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/showthread.php?t=37831 Evidently Nintendo of Europe has noticed this] , as the European Platinum release disabled using the machines in the game corner. Coins are now found daily on the machines by talking to them. The EU's regulations [http://www.pokecommunity.com/showpost.php?p=4725140=1 may or may not be involved].
*** /em takes another look at the local [[Suck E. Cheese's]]. I don't think it's really true values dissonance, just the sort of thing poeple tend to get upset about, even if they don't mind the real version.
*** Ironically you can still BUY coins in the casino at the price 1000 Poké for 50 coins...
